IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
You need to ditch the idea that you are fated to follow a fixed path through life. It’s true that your birth chart is a cosmic blueprint but you also have free will and can change that blueprint any time you wish. Change it for the better this year.
ARIES (March 21 – April 20):
If you have any boring chores to complete then get them done now, because by tomorrow evening there will be more exciting things to do with your time and your energy. Start now and keep going until they have all been done!
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):
You have made efforts above and beyond the call of duty in recent weeks and deserve a bit of down time. You don’t have to wait for the weekend to get out into the world and have some fun － call up your friends today and start making plans.
GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):
You may not think you have what it takes to tackle a situation that has defeated stronger people than yourself but you do, so get cracking and stick at it until you have got to the stage where you can honestly proclaim victory.
CANCER (June 22 – July 23):
Getting ahead in the world may be your primary goal but there are even more important matters in life, one of which is your relationship with someone who has always been special to you. Give them your undivided attention today.
LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):
A lot of fun people will be coming your way over the next few days and you won’t need a second invitation to join them in whatever high jinks they get up to. Don’t go too far though or you could turn authority figures against you.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):
You will have to call on all your powers of self-discipline today when dealing with situations where there is money at stake. The planets warn if you act rashly you could turn what should have been a profit into a considerable loss.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):
Saturn in your opposite sign means you need to take care when dealing with partnerships of a professional nature. Most of all you need to make sure you are not being taken advantage of by people who don’t share your moral code.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):
If you don’t want to get out and about and deal with people today that’s fine. More than most other signs you value your “me time”, the moments you spend alone with your thoughts. Spend the whole day with them if you feel like it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):
The fact that someone is making such a fuss over a matter that means nothing to you suggests you would be better off steering clear of them. You can’t stop them getting angry but you don’t have to add fuel to the fire.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):
Jupiter in the wealth area of your chart is good for business and financial matters, so don’t be afraid to look at new ways to make money. You must, however, think long-term about your investments, as get-rich-quick schemes will inevitably fail.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):
Other people can bend the rules and use underhand methods if they so wish, but you know you won’t be happy with yourself if you join them. You may end up making less than they do but your conscience will be clear, and that’s priceless.
PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):
The sun in one of the most positive areas of your chart is urging you to expand your thinking and extend your activities into areas you previously avoided. You are capable of so much more, but you’ve got to believe in yourself.
